the influence of any theological school, fit for home study or class read- ing, intelligible to persons ignorant of the classics, and as ho could not find those requisites in any existing text-book he composed one for him- self. We think Mr. Demaus must be considered to have succeeded very fairly in his task, and he has added greatly to the value of his work by a few well chosen pictorial illustrations. Mere descriptions of places and things convey no idea to the minds of children, and seldom a correct one even to adults.
